Ah, thanks for the hint. I already had tipa installed (since I'm using it to
write my Enamyn Language Manual) and you're right, that did it.
*PLUG* If any of you are interested in creating beautiful documents, LaTeX
is defintely the way to go, although it can be initially frightening for the
new beginner. This fright, however, is easily removed by using LyX (very easy
to run on any *nix system; for Windows, you need Cygwin installed), and once
v. 2.0 comes out in a couple weeks, you won't be stuck using that awful
xforms GUI (there will be frontends in QT, GTK, and xforms, so take your
pick). See http://www.lyx.org for more details.
